If you are looking to watch a film or television series that is based on true events, then read on because I have found suggestions for both!

Here are all the top films and TV series that you should start watching now!

TV Series:

They attempt to understand and catch serial killers by studying their damaged psyches. Along the way, the agents pioneer the development of modern serial-killer profiling. The crime drama has a strong pedigree behind the camera, with Oscar-nominated director David Fincher and Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron among the show’s executive producers.”

This docudrama from Emmy-winning producer Ryan Murphy recalls the details of the legendary rivalry the Oscar-winning actresses had while filming the movie and extended well after the cameras stopped rolling. `Feud’ recalls how the ladies struggled to hang on to fame in the twilight of their careers as they faced such obstacles such as ageism, sexism and misogyny. Leading the acclaimed cast are Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon — portraying Crawford and Davis, respectively — who have won three Oscars between them.”
